My Work

I've just realised that I actually haven't shown off much/any of my work that I've done over the past few years so here it goes!

This was the first serious photoshop piece I created 3/4 years ago, I really don't like it anymore though. It sucks.
Image

Created this a few years ago, it was only a 5 minute idea but it turned out ok. It was inspired by the original BioShock, polaroids and Chicago.
Image

I created this piece about two years ago. This is one of the buildings in the centre of Manchester called Urbis. That's an old photo of me down at the bottom and it's supposed to show some kind of digital graffiti.
Image

This is the most popular image I've ever created with about 50,000 views on DeviantArt, which absolutely sucks because it took me 20 minutes to make whereas some of my recent stuff took me a good 10 hours.

This is something I created recently for university, didn't have much time and I was really rushed and didn't get chance to use any new photos so I used the same one as before. Not 100% happy with the way it turned out, would have been good if I didn't rush it so much.
Image

This is one of my favourite things I've ever made. The theme was Discord so I went for the idea of clashing things together like all the peace, love, statue of liberty etc all clashed with war and the guy in the gas mask (me)
Image

Some of you will recognise this.. The most recent thing I've created is for the Sum 41 album cover contest, again I was rushed so I used the same photo as the piece above.
Image

That about sums up my fairly recent photoshop work.



Thought I'd throw in a few of my favourite photos that I've taken, I've got loads more on my Flickr though.

Alcatraz Island

A Butterfly

Venice

The falls next to the Niagara Falls

Thanks guys, I'm not doing a course related to this kind of work at university but I probably could of done. I believe that you don't need a degree to do graphic design work.

I love Venice, one of my favourite places I've ever been to. Can't believe you've been to Positano! I don't know anyone else that's been. Also, lmao just realised that's obviously not THE Niagara falls but it's right next to the Niagara falls lol.

Positano was awesome. when we went to Venice it rained and the grand canal ranover onto the streets and into most of the shops, really sucked. Positano/Amalfi Coast was the only day where it was decently warm.
